Test: Run a busy python printing task background like this: while True: print 123 send SIGUSR2 to perf to capture snapshot, then: # ./perf record --overwrite -e raw_syscalls:sys_enter -e raw_syscalls:sys_exit --exclude-perf -a --switch-output [ perf record: dump data: Woken up 1 times ] [ perf record: Dump perf.data.2017110101520743 ] [ perf record: dump data: Woken up 1 times ] [ perf record: Dump perf.data.2017110101521251 ] [ perf record: dump data: Woken up 1 times ] [ perf record: Dump perf.data.2017110101521692 ] ^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Dump perf.data.2017110101521936 ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.826 MB perf.data. ] # ./perf script -i ./perf.data.2017110101520743 | head -n3 perf 2717 [000] 12449.310785: raw_syscalls:sys_enter: NR 16 (5, 2400, 0, 59, 100, 0) perf 2717 [000] 12449.310790: raw_syscalls:sys_enter: NR 7 (4112340, 2, ffffffff, 3df, 100, 0) python 2545 [000] 12449.310800: raw_syscalls:sys_exit: NR 1 = 4 # ./perf script -i ./perf.data.2017110101521251 | head -n3 perf 2717 [000] 12449.310785: raw_syscalls:sys_enter: NR 16 (5, 2400, 0, 59, 100, 0) perf 2717 [000] 12449.310790: raw_syscalls:sys_enter: NR 7 (4112340, 2, ffffffff, 3df, 100, 0) python 2545 [000] 12449.310800: raw_syscalls:sys_exit: NR 1 = 4 # ./perf script -i ./perf.data.2017110101521692 | head -n3 perf 2717 [000] 12449.310785: raw_syscalls:sys_enter: NR 16 (5, 2400, 0, 59, 100, 0) perf 2717 [000] 12449.310790: raw_syscalls:sys_enter: NR 7 (4112340, 2, ffffffff, 3df, 100, 0) python 2545 [000] 12449.310800: raw_syscalls:sys_exit: NR 1 = 4 Timestamps never change, but my background task is a dead loop, can easily overwhelm the ring buffer. This patch fixes it by forcing unsetting PROT_WRITE for a backward ring buffer, so all backward ring buffers become overwrite ring buffers.
